Rick Santorum will in fact qualify for the Republican primary ballot in Indiana, with a recount of his petition signatures overcoming an earlier calculation that he had fallen just short of the threshold in one Congressional district.
The Indianapolis Star reports:
The original tally showed he fell eight signatures short in the 7th Congressional District, which is entirely in Marion County. Candidates must collect the signatures of 500 registered voters in each of the nine congressional districts to be on the ballot.
…
On Thursday — one day before the Indiana Election Commission was to weigh challenges to ballot access by Santorum and other candidates — the Marion County Board of Voter Registration said Santorum had more than enough signatures for inclusion on the ballot.
